Story | Fukuoka Winter

February memories.
Bits and pieces popping up after midnight, upon awaking from a strange dream...

Slipping on black leather penny loafers,
saying ittekimasu.
Twirling heavy scarf around the neck,
exiting the front door and descending downstairs.
Half jumping half running up and down through the ribbon streets,
smiling at those big round corner mirrors.

Inserting the monthly pass through the machine,
shyly eyeing for cute male high school students on the bus.
Watching the familiar yet different neighbourhood passing by,
with people coming on and off the vehicle.
Flashing the student id in green card holder very fast to the bus driver,
mumbling arigatou gozaimashita.

Yakuin-eki mai.
Jyane.

Ume no Kare no Kimi by Watanabe Hamako

Vintage-ness kicks in... A wonderful song dated back from 1951.
夢の彼の君 - 渡辺はま子

Story | Experiement

I foresee the clash.
The mix of turquoise and blue.
A drop of verdigris accidentally hits the sapphire stone.

Minerals.
Each at different stages.
Each formed in different ways.

Precipitate formed from exposure.
Hard and bright stone.

Alchemy of experiment.

Story | Oppression

I should have know this from the beginning.
Randomness is likely not going to work.
Experiment just makes the matter magnifying exponentially in chaos.

Opposite ends of the world.
I have previous experience...
Millions of questions, unlimited number of silent responses.

Positivity should open up the burden.
Yes, no, or perhaps?

Time will answer.

Story | 21 Days

September is here.
It is always a mixed feeling when it hits this time of the year.

The official month of school. All parents and kids prep and rush before the first day of class.
The beginning of autumn. Showering leaves in amber and ochre.
The presence of fall equinox. Daylight hours starts to decrease.
The evidence of Virgo giving its power to Libra. The maiden withdraws herself.

A brand new beginning.

People of the World by J-Friends

Another vintage song from 11 years ago. Kinki Kids, TOKIO, and V6 are not really that popular anymore...

Story | Neverland

Is it possible to feel empty? Gaps occurring in between tasks are uncomfortable.

What is a break? What is a holiday? A way to escape form reality?

I don't know what exactly this is. I cannot describe the feeling. With Japanese dramas, movies, and music videos from 10 or more years ago, I am revisiting the young, naive, and pure emotions of the past.

Being a teenager and a dreamer was a very nice period of time.
